"Mark Kelly's campaign against 'assault weapons' such as the AR-15 rifle has sparked a local backlash," Breitbart.com declares. "On March 13, a Tucson, Arizona radio host published a photograph of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords holding an AR-15 rifle at a gun range. Giffords has since confirmed that the photograph is authentic."

The guy who posted the photo, James T. Harris, claims it's evidence of "elitist hypocrisy."

The full photo, showing the police officer, along with an explanation, was later posted on Giffords' Facebook page.

"The first [photo] is at the Tucson Police Department firing range," the post in Giffords' name says. "They invited me to test rifles and tasers that they bought with federal funds, which I helped secure."

We'd like to think that changes things a bit, but let's hear from you. Knowing that Giffords' holding of the gun was related to a law-enforcement event, with cops, do you think it's still "elitist hypocrisy" for Giffords and her husband to campaign for gun-control laws?
